Welcome, I’m glad you’re here.

I’m a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist offering compassionate, warm, non-judgmental support for adults and young people aged 18 and over. Whether you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or simply unsure where to begin, I’m here to help you take that first step.

My approach is rooted in person-centred therapy, but I draw from a range of therapeutic methods so that our work together is always tailored to your needs. I offer short term and long term therapy both in person and online.

Issues I work with

I have experience supporting clients with a wide range of mental health concerns including:

• Anxiety
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Depression and low mood
• Low self-confidence and low self-esteem
• Relationship issues
• Loss of identity or direction
• Bereavement and grief

I am experienced in working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and autism.

Eating disorders, disordered eating & bariatric support

I have a particular interest and specialist training in working with eating disorders, disordered eating and the complex relationship many people have with food, body image and weight. 

I also provide psychological and practical support before and after bariatric surgery offering space to explore the emotional, behavioural and lifestyle changes that come with this journey. 

How I work

I offer a safe, confidential and supportive space where you can feel seen and heard just as you are. I believe therapy should be individual to each person so we’ll work together to build a toolkit of practical strategies that help you move forward at your own pace. 

You don’t need to be in crisis to reach out. Therapy is a space to reconnect with yourself, gain clarity and feel more in control of your life. 

My background

Before qualifying as a counsellor I studied molecular biology and then worked in medical trials. This background helps me provide a more comprehensive holistic form of support, particularly when working with clients navigating health conditions, bariatric surgery or disordered eating patterns. 

Start your therapy journey

If you’re thinking about starting counselling, or are searching for the right therapist near you, I offer a free 15 minute consultation so that we can talk about what you are looking for and how I can support you. Whether in person or online therapy I am here to walk alongside you. 

I have sessions available Tuesdays - Fridays with some weekday evenings also available. Sessions are £60 for a 50 minute session.

*I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and abide by their ethical framework.
